Child Visitation/Child Custody

The most trying divorces involve disputed issues of custody and child visitation. In determining what role each parent will take in a child’s life, a judge will apply the “best interest of the child” standard. That means that the judge, after listening to all of the evidence presented, will make a decision based upon what he or she thinks is in the best interest of the child. Modifications of child custody and visitation can be made at any time if it is in the best interests of the child. Read More.

There are many variables that can be applied in the worksheet to alter the amount of child support payable.
